Your grandmother's recipe is a favorite
Why the dishes you grew up with belong on the same shelf as the albums and films you love — and what happens when you treat them that way.

A favorite isn't only a song or a film. It's the smell of the kitchen on a Sunday. It's the dish your mother made when you were sick. It's the bakery you walk three extra blocks for.
Food is the most generous category of favorite, because it's the one you can hand to someone exactly as you received it.
Make the list. Cook the dish. Send the recipe. That's culture, passed forward.
